VXL - Net Change Report - 2017.04
Functions
The biggest change in the new version is that one function can be connected to multiple environments. It can also exist in multiple versions and each version can be active in one or more environments. This is useful when maintaining a function since an admin can edit a function and just make it available in the test environment. Once the function is validated, it can be released to production. If needed one can easily rollback a release and re-activate the old version. See documentation for details.
